When I think of an Air Force general, the first image that pops up in my mind is Curtis LeMay.

The one and only - plus the trademark cigar! The good Lord made only one of him! We have a framed picture of him in our living room with my husband in the late ‘70’s when he was our guest speaker at an open house we had at our flying club..He said he’d come for a half hour or so and ended up spending several hours visiting and showing some of his old WWII films. A super evening. My husband enjoyed shooting with him at an ourdoor range in OC, CA... His one and only hero!

And nobody asked him not to smoke...not even JFK who smoked cigars himself. Didnt even cross people’s minds. But that was when America was still America. Yes, he was a general’s general...up there with Patton, IKE, Halsey, Nimitz,etc.
